I spent an hour studying the words and grammar from my “Read Aloud Chinese” book. I just did the first four units. I have listened to the audio for the units a lot, but this was my first time to go through the vocabulary in detail. I think I’ll study this book for a while. I’ll start each study session by reviewing the previous units so what I’ve learnt should eventually stick.

After studying the vocabulary, I practiced shadowing using the CD

Total study time: 1 hour – Vocabulary, grammar and shadowing: 1 hour
